Maybe. Cities in Michigan can be liable if:
- The sidewalk had a dangerous defect (generally over 2 inches),
- The city had actual or constructive notice of the hazard,
- And they failed to repair it within a reasonable time.
But under MCL 691.1402a, the standard is strict.
Good case example: You tripped on a lifted concrete slab in a residential area with known complaints to the city.
Harder case: You were texting and didn’t see an obvious defect.
